Popular Nigerian TikTok star, Peller, has revealed that actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele played a key role in helping him regain his freedom during a recent legal ordeal.
Peller made the disclosure on Saturday while exchanging pleasantries with the actress at the premiere of the movie Love Notes. The content creator openly appreciated Akindele, crediting her support during what he described as a difficult period in his life.
Recall that Peller was arrested in December 2025 following his involvement in an alleged deliberate car accident in Lagos State. The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) subsequently ordered his arrest and prosecution over reckless driving.
Speaking at the event, the TikToker expressed gratitude to the award-winning actress, stating that her intervention made a significant difference.
“She was the one who helped me when I was in prison. She was the one who helped my life,” Peller said while acknowledging Akindele’s assistance.
Funke Akindele has yet to publicly comment on Peller’s claim, but the revelation has drawn attention from fans, many of whom praised the actress for her reported act of kindness.
The encounter highlights the growing bond between entertainment figures in Nigeria, as colleagues continue to support one another both professionally and personally.
